Thanks, yes, the cable does set up a com port, or a virtual one, I understand. I'll have a look at gkterm. Next question is about power. Can the BV500 run off 2 or 3 NiMH AA cells. 3 would be on the border of the max 3.6V. I could put in an IN4001 diode or two, to drop a little voltage (and protect the chip from accidental reverse connection). Cheers, Paulby PaulRB - BV500
Hi, I have been using Picaxe chips for a couple of years now, and the're great for small to medium size projects. I don't see the BV500 replacing the 8, 14, 18 or 20 pin picaxes, but for larger projects, the BV500 would make an interesting alternative to the 28 & 40 pin picaxes, especially where speed is important. For anyone unfamiliar with the picaxe system, they are a similar conceptby PaulRB - BV500
Hi, Can we have a BV500 forum please? I have a couple of questions already. Don't worry, I'm not just going to ask "when can I get one", I'm sure it will be announced. Paulby PaulRB - ByPic
